INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS Delaware Gov. John Carney signed into law a vast expansion of the state's medical marijuana program. Under House Bill 285, anyone with a " diagnosed medical condition " who would " receive therapeutic or palliative benefit " from medical cannabis is now eligible for a state MMJ card, according to the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML). Adults 65 and older now can " self-certify " for medical marijuana without a doctor's recommendation. Delaware's MMJ law previously allowed only patients suffering from a specific " debilitating medical condition " to access medical marijuana. The MMJ expansion doesn't affect the state's adult-use statute, which the governor signed into law last year. Adult-use sales in Delaware likely won't begin until after March 2025, when the first retail and lab-testing licenses are expected to be awarded. Untitled-2 1 3/14/24 7:53 AMhttp://www.mckinneyrsa.com
